Anyway, that small opening was finally covered, and Aether also breathed a sigh of relief.
At least he no longer dared not look at Yelan's chest.
Although, logically speaking, he shouldn't be staring at that part of someone's body for no reason…
Yelan reached out and touched the gauze that Aether had just helped him apply. Its rough texture was no different from ordinary gauze, but it seemed to still carry the warmth from Aether's hand.
Yelan's cheeks were slightly flushed, but his expression remained composed.
He didn't know what was wrong with him. He had only wanted to tease this Grey-haired girl, but the moment his hand touched him, he felt an inexplicable flutter in his heart.
Especially since the other person's technique was very skilled, it looked as if he had done many similar things before.
"Let's keep going. We can't get out of this place. Those two should be waiting for us up ahead," Yelan took a deep breath, then slowly said to Aether.
"Okay," Aether nodded, also having composed his emotions.
That was really close just now. Although he only felt the softness for a moment with his fingertips, it still almost made him lose his mind and nearly act on impulse.
If he really hadn't controlled himself, it would have been a huge mess.
Although Yelan shouldn't say anything under the influence of his physique, and might not blame him afterwards, he still had to consider the current situation, didn't he? They were, after all, chasing suspects…
If the environment were different, he might not have been able to hold on like this.
Alas, he wondered if he would ever meet Yelan again.
Aether sighed softly in his heart and quickly caught up with Yelan's pace.
Both of them involuntarily sped up, continuing deeper inside.
The area beneath the slope was unexpectedly intricate, but fortunately, Yelan was skilled at tracking, and the two individuals were not adept at counter-tracking.
Following the tracks left by the two for a long time, they finally arrived in front of a cave.
"It seems this is where those two are hiding," Yelan said, crossing his arms and surveying the deep, dark cave entrance.
"It looks like an artificial cave," Star said slowly, stroking his chin.
This kind of cave was definitely not naturally formed; it was just unknown who would choose to excavate a cave in such a place.
According to Hu Tao's previous statement, no one ever came to a place like Wuwang Slope, and it was even difficult for people who accidentally entered to get out.
"This cave is quite old. No one knows who made it. Checking the historical records of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor might provide some clues... but there's no need to worry about such minor matters," Yelan said, shaking his head and leading the way into the cave.
Hu Tao might also know about this cave, but given how hidden this place was, she probably didn't think those two would discover it.
Upon entering the cave, it was different from what Star had initially imagined; it was incredibly vast, even looking more like a Domain.
